When you are kind from the beginning, people think that your kindness is weakness, because those who do not show their lethality are considered helpless or naive.
But when you show them your tough side first, proving that you can crush everything that stands in your way, and then choose to be kind, everyone starts to see things differently.
Kindness here is not understood as weakness, but rather as chosen strength.
They know now that you are capable of destroying them, but you choose not to.
(I do not like this saying, but despite its rudeness and cruelty, it is sometimes true with some people.)
What do you think?
